As of a year ago, GTA 5 had made over $9,000,000,000.

That’s a billion with a B.

Mostly off micro transactions to children.

They don’t need to charge $90, but if people will pay it, they’ll charge it.

Dude just forgot an oxford comma…

The one for bad punctuation from the troll community you can probably get overturned…

All the ones for racism and explicit advocation for violence though, you probably won’t be able to get changed.

Quick edit:

Looks like you can comment on lemmy.ml tomorrow, have fun with that I guess

Don’t do what you’re passionate for as a living. Eventually you just start to hate it. At best become disillusioned with it.

Do what you’re competent at that will make the most money. That will (hopefully) give you the free time and resources to do what you enjoy as a hobby.

Your first year focus on the “gen ed” requirements that are required for every degree, a couple of intro classes in what you think will be a good fit that should count as electives even if not your major.

Every Dept wants as many students as possible. So you can usually find professors willing to talk about their field and more importantly other students.

Lots of people are “undeclared majors” officially their first year even, but you can still declare and easily switch.

it took a massive (coopted) grassroots movement to elect someone with a different skin color.

On the other hand, 08 Obama showed with charisma and popular policy, skin color didn’t matter.

He not only easily won the general, he carried a lot of down ballot candidates who were less popular.

2012 after voters realized he wasn’t who he said he was is a better example for skin color not mattering.

But if someone with comparable charisma ran on a comparable platform as 08 Obama, nothing else about them matters.

It’s been months, but the last time I saw one they had been banned from .world for the spam. To be fair my associative memory is pretty good so it might have even been last year or longer.

This is a brand new account, with the same copy/paste. But last time they started out in fetish communities talking about how they love being judged for their weight.

So it’s like a perverted form of trolling, they want people to say their size is disgusting and insult them, which is obviously damaging to people who are obese for reasons other than their own sexual satisfaction. And may genuinely ask a similar question later.

Like, I’ve got no problem with the fetish, there’s loads of places online that cater to people just like OP and they can do whatever they want there.

But I don’t like them trying to make unaware people part of their sexual fantasies. Which is why I commented before blocking OP.

Question:

I remember your last account where you did this weird fetish spam posting thing.

Did you really expect people to not remember?

Is there no where else for you to do this then Lemmy?

If you abandon the social contract by being hateful or violent to others, you are no longer protected by it.

Pretty much the oldest rule of society and the first one established.

Outlaws are romanticized, but back in the day it was being such a shithead that you no longer had any protection under law.

Someone could rob, beat, and kill you in front of the sheriff and the mayor and nobody would do anything.

If you were going to ignore the rights of others, you would have zero rights. They turned to life’s of banditry in the wilderness because that was the only option. But most often they’d starve or be killed first.

Moving the weight 3-4 inches compared to 12-18 inches…

It takes more effort/power to move it a bigger distance

Sarcasm

You can get mad at everyone else or you can start playing to the lowest common denominator.

1. Question 1

2. Question 2

3. Question 3

Go to a comment you think shows he’s “fake banned” from.

Then go look at it from that instance instead of a 3rd party instance.

Their comments won’t show there, so they won’t get any engagement from people viewing from that instance.

Because they’re making the comments on that 3rd party’s copy, but it doesn’t federate to the main one that they’re banned from

HOW does this genocidal state have such an insane stranglehold on our country?

Before AIPAC there was another Israeli organization that donated to politicians.

After years of fighting a committee ruled that it had to register as a foreign agent.

So Israel created AIPAC and then gave Max donations to the people on the committee that decides who has to register as a foreign agent.

Which is why AIPAC has never had to register.

As both parties continually got rid of campaign finance law, AIPAC kept increasing what they gave, and started throwing insane money at anyone critical of Israel in the primary when it’s cheap.

Over decades they’ve bought the only two options and ensured the only two options were peo-Israel over anything else

The worst part …

They’re not the only organization, even foreign country. Doing this to ensure they always win.

Luckily while Ken Martin does have a pro-Israel bias, while running Minnesota he was one of the few state chairs who refused to work against anti-genocide Dems in primaries or generals. Which resulted in Minnesota being one of the progressive strongholds despite no one guessing it would shake out that way a decade ago.

So I want to be clear:

The people fucking up the DNC for decades is gone, we need to support the new DNC to keep it out of their hands. The people running the DNC six months ago wants the current DNC to take the fall so they can move back in.

Sounds like someone is bad at noticing AI slop…

Part of why it’s so ridiculous some Americans are legally prohibited from participating in BDS, is people only know if you tell them.

You can just not buy it and never mention why.

And unfortunately, lots of people aren’t even aware it’s illegal:

The price was announced first… So it’s not related.

Adjusted for inflation though, and $80 is the normal price it’s been for 40 years.

I just don’t know why people are shocked Nintendo is doing this, they’ve always been one of the first companies to increase prices.

That has nothing to do with “current age” and is how journalism has always worked…

But you just realized that, so now you assume no one else knew.

Direct with researchers.

Usually thru universities but grants are drying up.

Studies by companies sometimes take participants from volunteering, but usually they start with lists from healthcare workers.

So talk to their doctor and make sure they know about desire to volunteer, check “local” universities and hospitals

Remember when American tax payers gave billions to telecoms to install fiber in rural America?

It’s actually happened multiple times…

I remember two off the top of my head, but it’s possible there was a couple more

And if Y started at zero the graph would accurately show 10%, which is huge on that timeline.

And people wouldn’t be used to it and would react appropriately.

Although in this case I’d argue even then a month is deceptively short term when they’ve lost 50% this quarter
